Don't try to be an expert when buying diamonds for the first time, you just need to know how to do your research. Whether you are going to propose to your lover or buy a diamond for yourself, we wanted to remind you of 6 things you should pay attention to so that this beautiful moment of your life does not become more complicated.
1- Does the product have a certificate?
The diamond's cut, color, clarity and weight, called the 4 Cs, determine its price. And all these details are stated in the product certificate. HRD and GIA are institutions that provide international certification on this subject. The first thing you should ask is does the diamond have an international certificate?
2- What color should it be?
If you come across a slightly expensive product while buying a diamond, it is probably D color. You will hear a range of colors such as D, E, H. D is the color closest to white, hence the color with a higher price.
3- How should its clarity be?
The clarity of the diamond is one of the important criteria. The natural stains inside may be unnoticeable unless you are a professional. The clarity level increases the quality of the product. Clarity starts at IF or FL and progresses like VVS1, VVS2, VS1, VS2, SI1, SI2, SI3, I1...
4- Weight
It is a unit of weight that you will hear as carat. The diamonds used in solitaire rings are between 0.20 carats and 0.50 carats on average. There are also solitaires over 0.50 carats, 1, 2 and 5 carats.
5- Cutting
The quality of a diamond cut is determined by the diamond's light reflection and refraction rates. When a good cut is held up to light, it reflects all the colors of the rainbow to your eye like a spark. It contains the values Excellent, Very Good, Good, and Fair. Make sure that the cutting class on the certificate is Very Good at worst.
6- Your partner's expectation
Your girlfriend or wife's expectations are important. In order to ensure that the product is both visually appealing and fits your hand, it would be beneficial to talk a little about the subject beforehand and obtain your finger size.
